We like to save you time and money by sharing in-depth travel itineraries of our trips, including all the details about where we stayed, what we did, where we ate, how we got around and how much it all cost. I’m a geek when it comes to planning and love nothing more than finding unforgettable experiences around the world. I love places that have a story behind them or simply knock you off your feet with their beauty – be they little coffee shops, friendly guesthouses, or hidden nooks within the city. I find places that are cosy, creative, unique, and sometimes bohemian, hipster or green.
These itineraries are packed full of those experiences, and will help you to get the best out of your trip. We also have guides to some of the specials places to stay around the world, including hip, boutique hotels, best AirBnBs and glamping places.
